Business Intelligence Companies & Consultants in Barrigada, GU

Quantum Technology Group, usually shortened to QTG, is an IT services and consulting company based in Tamuning, Guam. Its clients are mostly small and mid-sized businesses in Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Saipan included. The company has been operating since 2013, and its stated mission also covers government agencies. It presents itself as a guide for organizations working through digital transformation, with an emphasis on efficiency, security and innovation.

Data and analytics capabilities

QTG's consulting practice includes several services for organizations that want more value from their information. The data analytics service is meant to convert raw figures into insights that decision makers can use. The data management service builds custom solutions intended to streamline operations and drive growth. A business analysis offering supports digital transformation by clarifying needs before technology is chosen or replaced. Other consulting services include:

• Enterprise architecture planning
• IT assessments aimed at cost savings, stronger security and better performance
• Custom software development and modernization of applications and infrastructure
• Migration of legacy AS400 and IBM i operations and applications
• Cloud migration and IT project management
• Custom IT training and disaster recovery planning

Managed services and productivity tools

Beyond consulting, QTG runs day-to-day technology on behalf of clients. Its managed IT offering covers desktop management, server and network management, managed cloud infrastructure, backup and restore with ransomware protection, disaster recovery with testing, and an outsourced help desk. The company argues that this model frees smaller businesses from constant break-fix work and from the risks of aging equipment.

Its productivity and collaboration line includes managed Microsoft 365, enterprise content management for organizing business data, an online payment gateway, and an automated payment system that uses interactive voice response. The firm also lists full-stack cybersecurity services and describes round-the-clock support for these tools.

How engagements work

New clients go through three steps. The first is an informal conversation, which QTG says is not a sales call, about where the organization stands and what is holding it back. Next comes an assessment of the current environment, followed by a detailed plan and roadmap. The final step is a continuing partnership to optimize and manage the client's technology.

Recommendations are fitted to each client's infrastructure, industry, applications, objectives and budget, and the company points to measurable return on investment as the goal.
